Softies

Ohh, look at my posting on my blog! lol

I was recently involved in a Softie Swap with some online friends. There was no theme, as long as the softie was baby friendly.

Here are my contributions:

A caterpillar (with no legs. Does that make him a worm?) made from this great tutorial.




I put a sleigh bell in his head and a squeaker in his tail. He turned out pretty good I think!

Have a good look at Kimberly's site, she has some amazing free patterns, and lots of stash-busting things to make.

Marisol the Mouse from this pattern.






Mine ended up looking a little more rat-like than I intended, but cute nonetheless. If it wasn't for a child I would have made a simple i-cord scarf, just to add some detail.

That's all my obligation knitting done, so I've cast on my baby blanket for the Boy :) Nice to knit something without a deadline (although, I suppose he won't be a baby for long!)

Oh yeah, I have a blog.

That's right, I made myself a blog, and never updated it.

A combination of a cranky, teething, non-sleeping bubba, miserable weather and really sore hands ahs meant I haven't been doing much knitting. Alright, I'm out of excuses :) I will try harder in the future!

I have a few little projects to put up though, so I shall make a new post for them.

Introduction

It's a cold, windy day outside, and The Boy is in bed sick, so I thought I'd finally get my blog started!

Here's a quick introduction from me.

My name is L. and I live in sunny, sunny Canberra (no, really, there is sun here sometimes!).

I'm mummy to a gorgeous boy who is 7 months old. He's very lucky in that he is the recipient of all my crafting (or unlucky, whichever way you look at it ;) ).

I intend to use this blog as a place to show of some of my finished works and to share other fantastic tips, techniques, and tutorials with other craftaholics.

Hope you enjoy my blog! :D
